Town of Rockport, Maine

Town of Rockport, Maine Welcome to the Town of Rockport’s official page! Rockport is a town in Knox County, Maine.

Rockport, or "the River" was settled in 1769 by Robert Thorndike. Goose River Village (as it was known until 1852), was originally part of the Megunticook Plantation, incorporated in 1791 as Camden. Rockport has a longstanding reputation as an artists' community, with notable artists and art institutions playing a significant role in the town's economic and social life. In 1852, the citizens of Goose River voted to change their village's name to Rockport for its rocky terrain. On February 25, 1891, Rockport officially split from Camden because of a dispute over the cost of constructing a bridge.

Rockport Common has begun taking shape. It's early yet, mostly fencing, permits, and the first earthwork, the unglamorous groundwork that has to happen before anything else can. It's not much to look at from the road, but it's the beginning of something we've been waiting on for a long time.

If you'd like to know what's happening at the park, we've launched a landing page at rockportcommon.org so you don't have to guess what's going on behind the fence. Check in as often as you like. We'll share significant updates as the work moves forward, season by season, until the park is ready for us all.
